im thinking about, running bumper-less on the rear, idk yet though, i have to drop my trailer hitch if i go this route.

Running without a rear bumper looks pretty sweet. I want a company to step up the the plate and just offer a flat plate with a frame tie in kit used to bolt d-ring tabs to. When I first saw Blaine's pics of the rear bumper I thought that was what they were doing, but I was mistaken.

Go bumperless, it looks pretty cool.

That's what i thought, i saw an x today lifted with 33s and he got rid of the bumper left the tire carrier and just bolted his Hi-Lift to just the tire carrier, it looked honestly pretty bad ***, the stock bumper really is just a piece of junk tin, would never hold up in an accident so until i get a bumper i like it may come off tomorrow, id love and old step down plate like the old military jeeps with a draw tite and two d tabs, like you said.

So my dad says to me as im putting my tires back on that I should have at least gone 4.5" on the lift and stepped up my tire size to 35's, id like to hit him, guy in the first place said a good jeep is a stock jeep with good aggressive tires..

35"s.. yes, 4.5" is expensive, and more than you would need since the RE 4.5 is more like a 5". That is too much lift for a short arm, so it gets even more expensive.
